SE250:April 23

SOFTENG 250 2008, Wednesday 23 April

Creative Activity

• Today we had a guest lecturer: Helen Sword, who is form the Centre for Academic Development.

• Basically shes doing research on creativity. I guess that means we're the guinue pigs??

• we had to sign a consent form to say that our work can be used in the future, without our name attached to it.

• So this project is worth 5%. John said its part of the compensatory bonus marks.

• All the information is in the hand out we got. Or u can click on the link: https://www.se.auckland.ac.nz/courses/SOFTENG250/spider-activity.pdf

• The project is presenting the poem in a webpage.

• Helen read out a poem by Emily Dickenson called "The spider holds a silver ball"

• Then there was a discussion on what the poem means.

• We also went through it to see what words go together and seeing how we can represent them using images.

• Helen suggested choosing a specific audience and then make the webpage specifically for that audience...so like in a way that would be easier for them to understand than just reading the poem. Eg. your audience could be your mum...or a child

• John said we can work in groups

• We hav no lab next tuesday(29th April)

• John said that we should hav something up on the wiki or the intranet site by next tuesday.
